Prezes #PGNiG @JerzyKwiecinski: „Kontrakt z @Orsted będzie obowiązywał od 1 stycznia 2023 r. do 1 października 2028 r., a jego całkowity wolumen to około 6,4 mld m sześc. gazu.” #gazziemny #kontrakt #dywersyfikacja #bezpieczeństwoenergetyczne pic.twitter.com/Fc9LQ6Ff1q

The deal comes as work is under way to build an undersea gas pipeline from Denmark to Poland.

The new link, known as the Baltic Pipe, is scheduled for completion by October 1, 2022. It is expected to connect the Polish and Danish gas transmission systems and enable Poland to access North Sea gas from Norway amid efforts to diversify supplies.
